Summary

Description

Possibly Lorimer and Matthew. Early 20th century. Single storey with attic, 2-bay lodge in the style of Robert Lorimer with boat-bow dormers, bell-cast roof and eyebrow window to rear. Harled with tooled ashlar door surrounds and polished ashlar cills.

SE (PRINCIPAL) ELEVATION: irregular 2-bay: bipartite window at ground in bay offset to left of centre. Boat-bow dormer above. Window at ground in bay offset to right. Tall stack to (slightly lower) roof apex above.

NW (REAR) ELEVATION: single window at ground to centre with roof curving over it above. Small boarded hatch door to right flank; stepped screen wall to outer right with lean-to shed behind.

NE (ENTRANCE) ELEVATION: 3-bay, grouped 1-2 with advanced bay to left. Doorway with part-glazed door at ground in bay set back to centre; small, narrow window offset to left, high in roof above. Window at ground in bay to right. Window in advanced bay to left.

SW (SIDE) ELEVATION: 3-bay: window at ground in bay to centre; tall and wide stack to mid roof above. Window in bay to right. Boarded door in bay to left.

12-, 9- and 4-pane timber sash and case windows; timber mullions to tripartites; small-pane casement windows to dormer and flanking door; curved eyebrow window; flush lights to roof. Grey slate piended roof, curved over rear window; slate to dormer; concrete ridges; harled stacks with ashlar copes; lead rhones; remaining rainwater goods cast-iron.

GATEPIERS AND BOUNDARY WALLS: short, squared sandstone rubble piers with flat ashlar cope; short squared rubble quadrant and boundary walls with flat and curved ashlar cope respectively.

Statement of Special Interest

The roof is particularly fine with a gently curved roof and lead rhones over a ground floor window to the rear. As the firm of Lorimer and Matthew were responsible for refurbishment of the main house in 1928, it is possible that the lodge is by the same firm.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
